Watchout

Where You Can Get Burned (Markup Traps)

Outpatient surgery & OR suites carry a 1.5× markup over Medicare rates
Commercial insurance median sits at 0.98× Fair BaseRate (1.2× Medicare), so insured patients should always compare the self-pay cash price before paying.
Even at low-cost facilities (0.95× Fair BaseRate), out-of-network or unnegotiated chargemaster bills can exceed commercial medians — confirm in-network status or request a self-pay cash quote up front.
Unnegotiated chargemaster list prices average 11.4× Medicare (14¢ true HCRIS cost per $1 gross)

Select Procedure to Audit:

Fair BaseRate™ $19,432

Medicare Rate $14,044

Self-Pay Cash $26,604

Insurer Median $15,962

1. Amount on Your Bill or Quote ($) Pre-filled with Community First Medical Center’s charged/list benchmark

2. Household Annual Income ($) Screened against 2026 HHS Federal Poverty Guidelines

3. Household Size (1–8) 2026 FPL: $15,650 + $5,500 per additional person

Step 1 · 501(r) Charity Care Check 274% of 2026 FPL

Above Standard 400% FPL Financial-Assistance Ceiling

At 274% FPL, you exceed the standard 400% FPL tier, though medical-hardship caps (when bills exceed 10% of annual income) may still apply.

Step 2 · Cash vs. Insurance Arbitrage Save $26,604 Paying Cash

Self-Pay Cash Rate ($26,604) Beats Your Bill

Community First Medical Center's published 45 CFR § 180 self-pay cash rate is $26,604 (vs. $15,962 commercial insurer median). Ask billing to reclassify the visit to prompt-pay self-pay if it beats your deductible.

Step 3 · Fair BaseRate Target +$33,776 Above Fair BaseRate

Negotiate Toward $19,432 Fair BaseRate ($14,044 Medicare)

Your bill ($53,208) is $33,776 above the denoised Fair BaseRate ($19,432) and 3.8× the $14,044 Medicare rate.
